Hot stone massage is a Swedish style of massage in which heated round or oval stones, usually smooth basalt stones, of varying sizes and weights are placed on the body to treat sore muscles. The stones are heated in water and then laid out over key muscle groups like the spine or between the toes for example, offering a soothing and relaxing healing experience. Intense, hot stone massage is gentler than deep tissue or therapeutic massage but has many of the same benefits.
